REPORT OF ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee:
Reflecting the continuous growth of this School System are the in- creased numbers of its professional, non-professional, and student body population.
Our present professional staff, representing the areas of instruction, supervision, administration, and health, number 116; the non-professional personnel number 39, and the total student enrollment is approximately 1883, with an anticipated enrollment next year of over 2000.
Further indicative of our rapid growth is the fact that each of the Town's four schools is operating at capacity, with overflow populations in the Osborn and Cole Elementary Schools, as well as the Sparrell Junior High. These buildings have been forced to utilize cafeteria, library, and storage space as teaching stations. With the completion of the new Vinal Elementary School, however, the present strain should be somewhat alleviated, at least in the elementary schools.
The Vinal Elementary School, so named in honor of Captain William G. Vinal, will be ready for occupancy on September 1, 1967. This modern 14 room building, expandable to 24 rooms, will house over 300 children, 12 classroom teachers, remedial specialists, principal, secretary, 2 custodians, and four cafeteria workers. One problem, it appears, has been met; another remains to be confronted.
Anticipating what has now become a spectre which haunts every com- munity, increased student enrollment and the diversification of curriculum, the town of Norwell had taken steps to expand its present High School facilities. Two considerations, however, have prompted this office and other town officials to request that the citizens of Norwell reconsider the advisability of such an expansion. First, the new addition would cost in excess of a million dollars, more than the total cost of the original build- ing. Secondly, the Sparrell Junior High is physically incapable of coping with the expanding student population and the growing diversification of the curriculum. The conclusions are obvious.
Should the town spend the million or more to expand the High School, it would be only a question of a few years before the necessity of build- ing a new Junior High would arise. The total expenditure would indeed be substantial. On the other hand, the construction of a new high school would relieve the present structure for use as a Junior High and the town would have two new, expandable buildings.
Within recent years, the Federal Government has taken it upon itself to subsidize the efforts of state and local school systems in the areas of curriculum development, library services, educational facilities, etc. Norwell, through the efforts of its administrators and teaching personnel, has tried to avail itself of Federal monies. We are presently receiving financial assistance for the following areas:
54
1. Science: To develop and maintain improved science programs, the High School will receive approximately $7,000. over the next five years.
2. Library: A continuous grant of over $4,000. a year for an indef- ite period.
3. Summer Project: To assist those students who, for one reason or another, are not actualizing their academic potential, the School Department has received almost $7,500.
With or without Federal or State assistance, the School Department continues to revamp and re-evaluate its present course of studies. As a result of last year's in-service science program, teachers represent- ing all levels formulated a science curriculum for grades 1-6 and are continuing their fine work in this area. The English and math depart- ments have already completed courses of study for their respective areas, and work is presently under way to improve all of the other academic areas. Since curriculum development is a continuing process, no defini- tive course of studies will ever be forthcoming.
To facilitate and expedite curriculum development, it is our intention to appoint Curriculum Co-ordinators and Assistants for grades 1-12. This should give a higher degree of continuity to future courses of study and assure a systematic program of evaluation and revision.
One of the major areas with which our administrators and some mem- bers of our teaching staff are presently concerned is that of reading. Through the efforts of these people, we are hoping to establish a sound and intensive phonics program in the elementary schools and an effective remedial reading program throughout the system.
Since a school department must concern itself with matters other than the purely academic, we have added a bookkeeper to the Superintendent's office in an attempt to centralize all the financial transactions of the system and to render more efficient a system of accounting that has been somewhat undefined.
In accordance with Chapter 763 of the General Court, the School De- partment has recognized and negotiated with the representatives of five newly formed collective bargaining groups: The Norwell Teachers' Asso- ciation; the AFL-CIO, representing the custodians; the secretaries, cafe- teria workers, and Principals, acting as independent agents. In every instance, to date, the representatives involved maintained the negotia- tions on the highest professional level, and the groundwork for future cooperative effort in this area has been securely laid.
Although it is not customary to inject personal observations into such a report, I wish to conclude my remarks by extending my sincere thanks to the committee for its tireless efforts in behalf of the educational interest of the town and to the citizens of Norwell for their deep and abiding concern they have demonstrated for their schools.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Assistant Supt. of Schools Norwell, Mass.
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
My annual report as school physician is submitted for 1966 as follows:
Physical examinations have been completed for all students in the high school, eighth and fourth grades. I have also initiated health records for the several first grades, with the preferred help of the family physi- cian. As usual supplemental tests are done for vision, hearing, growth and fitness. In the high school emphasis is stressed for all those in con- tact and competitive sports. Each student is questioned for evidence of any injury or residual disability. Blood pressures, TPR and Urinalyses are also evaluated. The coaches have been most cooperative on the few necessary restrictions. Parents and family physicians are asked to share responsibility in participation in sports.
Contagion has been well controlled to date with only a few mumps cases in the Elementary school.
There have been no sanitation problems in the new modern buildings.
The regular immunization clinics offered by the Board of Health are well attended.
63
Measles vaccine was offered this year for the first time in both Ele- mentary schools, and the Junior High School. This should diminish one of the most hazardous of children's diseases.
The chairman of the Board of Health has organized a Health Council composed of himself, the School Physician, the Dental Consultant, the Assistant Supt. of Schools, a School Committee member, and an indepen- dent physician. Excellent liason has resulted with a new emphasis on examination, prophylaxis and education. New qualified personnel are being interviewed to effect the program.
A tour of the new Vinal Elementary School with the acting Principal and the Assistant Supt. of Schools was helpful in planning for both health and playground areas. Some related suggestions will be offered to the Building Committee.
Our physical education and athletic facilities continue to be most in- adequate. We have been most fortunate in being able to borrow a nearby football field.
I wish to extend my thanks to all who help with the school health pro- gram.
Sincerely, Raymond G. Vinal, M. D.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSES
Mr. Richard C. Hamilton Assistant Superintendent of Schools Norwell, Massachusetts ยท =
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
The following report is a survey of medical services rendered the School Department by the School Nurses.
Assistance was given at Measles, D.P.T. and Polio Booster Clinics at all schools, as well as with the physical examinations of pre-schoolers, grade school children 1-4, and all Junior and Senior High students. The nurses, furthermore, administered the vision and audiometer testing of all pupils and the Heaf Tests for grades 1, 4, 7, and 11.
In addition to these organized health programs, emergency first aid was administered as needs arose; children were transported home when necessary; routine sanitary inspections were conducted, and home visits made when required.
Respectfully submitted,
Catherine A. Roe, School Nurse Mildred V. Wilcox, School Nurse

REPORT OF THE CAFETERIA SUPERVISOR
Mr. Richard C. Hamilton Assistant Superintendent of Schools Norwell, Mass.
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
For my first report as School Lunch Director, it is my pleasure to state that the participation in the school lunch program has increased (proportionately) over the last year.
We must consider the effects on the school lunch budget of the rise in cost of food and transportation. This represents a figure of 7% over last year's figures. Also to be considered is the fact that the Federal Government has decreased the amount of "surplus" commodities issued to the schools. Not only has the amount and variety of foods offered been decreased, but the amount given to the Norwell Schools is not what was expected. A much deserved raise for the school lunch personnel was ap- proved by the School Committee, effective January 1967. All these factors greatly affect the funds on which we operate.
Because of these factors the School Committee found it necessary, on advice of the Office of the School Lunch Programs, to increase the price of lunches. Students will pay $.30 for a complete lunch and the adults will be charged $.50 starting January 9, 1967. The Norwell Schools have been one of the last school systems to raise its prices. It is our hope that we can remain solvent and self-sustaining with this slight increase.
I want to thank all the employees of the School Lunch Program for their kindness and cooperation in helping to make my first year as director a most pleasant experience.
Respectfully submitted, Ruth Horgan School Lunch Director
